Chapter 56: Chapter 11: The Autumn River (3)

The two went up to the embankment, only to see the green willow and the long-order elm on both sides of the river were lush and green, and they didn't know how many years they had grown. The branches stretch into the river, like a cardamom girl combing her waterfall-like hair, rich and graceful. The river water is clear, warm and beautiful, and quiet like a virgin. The opposite mountain, standing along the river, is endless, towering into the sky. The clouds in the mountains are entangled in the peaks, and the fog surrounds the mountains and gorges.

"That mountain is Xianyu Mountain. Miao Yu pointed to the nerd on the other side of the river.

"With such a wide river and no boats, how can we get by?" asked the nerd.

"We walked upstream along the embankment and found the source of the river, and then we could climb over the mountain. Miao Yu said.

"The sand and gravel here are fine, presumably the downstream section of the river. And this Qiupu River is so vast, I don't know how long it will take to find the source along the embankment. The nerd said.

"According to the horse team, it takes more than a month to get to and from Dream City. Miao Yu said.

"Wouldn't it take more than ten days to reach Dream City?" exclaimed the nerd, "why don't we swim over there?" ”

"Do you know how wide and deep the Qiupu River is?" Miao Yu asked.

"I don't know the depth, but when I stand here and look at the past, I don't know how wide it is, but it's only a hundred steps. The nerd said.

"It's a hundred steps away, but this Qiupu River is the end of the east, the place where the west begins, and it is the scar left by Pangu when he turned the chaotic world into heaven and earth. After hundreds of millions of years of changes, the Qiupu River was formed, which is the boundary marker between the eastern and western worlds. As a result, the Akiura River is bottomless. Miao Yu said.

"The Qiupu River is the border between the Eastern and Western worlds? The nerd was puzzled.

"Dream City is the Western world. Miao Yu then added, "Never believe what you see with your eyes, when Pangu opened the world, he opened the earth and pushed the mud and stones aside. Hundreds of millions of years later, the earth cracked to form the Qiupu River, and the mud fossilized into Xianyu Mountain, and heaven and earth have since formed two worlds, the East and the West. The surface of the Qiupu River is calm, but the dark waves under the river surface are surging, and there is a strong suction, no matter what, once it stays on the surface of the river, it will be sucked into the bottom of the river, which is why there are no boats on the Qiupu River, let alone swim over?

"I see. "The idiot said, I can't help but respect the Qiupu River and Xianyu Mountain. Looking up, I saw a patch of rare trees wrapping Xianyu Mountain with lush branches and leaves, the mountain is steep, stretching for thousands of miles, and there is no end in sight. A white curtain of water hung down from a green crack and fell on the lying boulder in sections, stirring up tens of millions of fine gold and silver that burst out in all directions, raising a fine mist of water. Like a young woman with a plump face, her temples are sprinkled with clouds, and her breasts are half-hidden. In the meantime, red, yellow, and purple flowers compete with each other, especially the red flowers, which are crowded and scattered to the river, shy and timid, and sympathize with the river. After a while, a few petals were left in the water, drifting with the waves, and a sigh of merciless water flowed. Green water and green mountains, such a beautiful scenery, it is really "a peerless beauty, living in the empty valley." ”

The nerd couldn't stand hanging his backpack on the branches, went down the embankment, came to the river beach, and when he was full of water, he suddenly felt sweet and clear, pleasing to the eye, and bursts of □□ gushed out of his body. Look at the water again, swaying and leaving a frivolous shadow. From time to time, there are red dragonflies flying over the water, flickering, falling in love with the water, and tasting the water. The fish and shrimp in the river water play freely and comfortably. The nerd picked up a flat pebble in his hand, bent his body sideways, and drew an arc, and the stone spun out, jumping on the water and jumping into the grass on the opposite bank, startling all kinds of water birds.

"Why don't you want to leave?" Miao Yu shouted from the riverbank.

"Just now you said that the undercurrent of the Qiupu River is surging, and there is a strong suction at the bottom of the river, why are the fish and shrimp in this river so free?" said the nerd as he climbed the embankment.

"Everything has its own world. Miao Yu said, "In different worlds, there are different scenes, and this is the world." ”

"What do you mean by that?" the idiot was at a loss.

"To put it simply, you can't come to my place. Miao Yu said with a smile.

"What does that mean?" the nerd was confused.

"As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil nurtures the other side. Miao Yu paused, and then continued, "Just like birds perched on trees and fish and shrimp swimming in the water, the Qiupu River and Xianyu Mountain in front of you illustrate a qiē." ”

"What does that mean?" the nerd asked, bewildered.

"Pangu opened up the heavens and the earth, forming the sky, the earth, the mountains and forests, the rivers, the seas, the lakes and the rivers, and creating the two worlds of the east and the west, which means that all the spirits in the world should have their own place, and if they forcibly leave their own world, there will be disasters. For example, this fish and shrimp can't live without water, birds can't fly without the sky, and if you force your way across the Akiura River, you'll drown. After speaking, Miao Yu laughed. The laughter was as melodious as a bell in the autumn wind.

"Your words are obscure. The nerd took his rucksack from the branch and said.

"Then tell me what you know. Miao Yu thought for a moment, and then said, "The brutal war a hundred years ago, you know, right?"

"How did you know about the Great War between man and beast a hundred years ago, when you live here and are isolated from the rest of the world?" the nerd asked.

"The wind is a messenger that is not troubled by borders. Miao Yu said.

"Wind?" the nerd wondered.

"The orcs are restless and defend themselves, offending the Divine Celestial Empire, what is the result?" Miao Yu didn't answer, with the brains of nerds, it was useless to say, so he continued to ask.

"All were assimilated by the Han Chinese. The nerd said.

"It's like the First Roman Legion. Miao Yu said.

"Of course," the nerd learned this history in the training course for junior officers in the martial arts hall, so he told it eloquently, "In the 55th year of harmony, the Roman child Crassus shouted, 'I come, I see, I conquer.'" 'He led seven regiments of heavy infantry, 4,000 men of light infantry, and 4,000 cavalry, totaling more than 50,000 men, through the plains of Mesopotamia, and invaded our Han territory. At that time, Chen Tang, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, only led 1,500 soldiers to guard the Western Regions. In the face of the attacking 50,000 Roman troops, Chen Tang first set up an arrow array, then set fire, and finally attacked, he rushed into the enemy formation single-handedly, came to the little Crassus, and used a wind slash to split it into several pieces in an instant, and the defenders of the Western Regions immediately rushed to kill. In this battle, nearly 30,000 Roman legions were killed and more than 10,000 were captured. After the war, Chen Tang played the imperial court and was greatly praised, and Chen Tang received the order and thanked him: "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!", and the emperor was very happy when he heard it. On the question of how to place these captives, Chen Tang believed that the Roman legions were very strong in combat and could be used as new armor for the vast territory of the empire. The emperor obeyed Chen Tangjian, accepted the surrender of the Romans, set up Lijing County to settle them, and transferred 10,000 guest girls to form a family with them to improve the human race. From then on, these captives settled down in the Western Regions. Later, there was the Xiliang Army.
